Greetings from Ravenclaw Tower!!! Yes, I know that this is my sister Andi's blog but she has allowed me a chance to pop in from time to time. She may be in Slytherin but she really is a sweet girl despite all the snarkyness. Anyway, we did have a great summer holiday. Her little boyfriend visited quite often. All he had to do was bring cheesecake and she was putty in his hands. He even bought her a brand new green headband to match the colors in her school uniform. So she has agreed to wear her hair down this term just for him. Awwww.....he is soooo sweet to her. Maybe she might mellow out this term. Well, I am off to the library. I have quite a bit of research to do before school starts again.

Although the term for the latest HSKS has already ended, I have still been quite busy. The yarny package that I had been waiting for arrived and I have begun the long process in deciding which socks to knit for my Gryffindor pal in the HSS4 Swap. The only bumps in the whole process is that the muggle email has not been going well. For some reason the posts I send are mysteriously vanquished. But I was able to make contact with her eventually. I have gotten some knitting done in house colors for me. Plus I have started a pair of Fawkes socks using that yummy yarn that I received from the Slytherin Head Girl for the Reducio Sock swap over at Ravelry. Not much has been happening at home. Edward has been by quite a bit and my mum was instantly charmed by him. Not many girls can resist his boyish grins. Well, that is it for now. I still need to look at sock patterns for my Gryffindor pal. Laters...

Inspiration has struck and I have finally placed an order for yarn for my pal's socks. So now, I just have to wait for the delivery owl to arrive here at the snake pit. I still haven't picked out a sock pattern yet but I am sure that won't be a problem. In the meantime, I have finished knitting some Slytherin items for me. I will post pictures later today when I have some more time.

This very cute package came from Cassandra Puddlemere - Slytherin Head Girl and Keeper of the Crucio List. It was for the Reducio Swap on Ravelry. I love Jelly Slugs and that yarn is hand-dyed by Cassie!!! I think I might have a pattern in mind for it. The package arrived yesterday but I didn't check the mail until late last night. So a huge thanks to Cassie and a big hug!!!
